From Homer’s Iliad to 20th century science fiction movies, through Da Vinci’s humanoid robot, artificial intelligence (AI) has been a subject of humankind’s dreams for centuries. Although the notion of AI has started as a fantasy, sometimes even dystopian, like Spielberg’s film Minority Report which depicts a worrying future of advanced technologies in law enforcement, AI is now a reality in daily life, and has shifted human lifestyles.

Considered as a branch of computer sciences, AI refers to the building of ‘smart’ machines, able to perform human tasks by mimicking human attributes, intelligence, and reasoning, but without direct human intervention.
